Me and My Blog

They say the solo Family Doctor is extinct; gone the way of the dinosaur. Well, I’ve been in private practice for twenty years and I’m still kicking, so here’s my blog. Until they drag my cold, dead body off into the tar pit, read about my trials and tribulations — and the joys and triumphs, which are what keep me going.

I’m also embarking on a new career as an author. You can read my first book by ordering it on the page above. If anyone worries that I may become so successful with my writing that I will give up my medical practice, rest assured: writing is something I do; doctoring is who I am.

Feel free to contact me with questions or comments at:

Even though I am a practicing physician, no specific medical advice will be given on this blog. Please contact your Family Physician for personal questions. If you do not have one, please click here.

The Laws of the Dinosaur

The art of medicine consists of amusing the patient while nature takes its course.

It is impossible to make an asymptomatic patient feel better.

The urgency of the test is inversely proportional to the IQ of the insurance company preauthorization clerk.

There is no cure for stupid.

Bad things really do happen to good people.

The better the surgeon, the more reluctant s/he is to operate.

Part A: It has to be fun.Part B: If it isn't fun, see Part A.

Half of what is taught in medical school is wrong, but no one knows which half.

Poor planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part.

A bad idea held by many people for a long time is still a bad idea.
